People can all have different reasons for a thing and yet all still come to the wrong conclusion. Bitcoin just doesn’t meet the criteria for a scam. It’s one thing to not like or trust it for legitimate reasons. It’s another thing to denounce the thing you don’t like or trust with an invalid accusation.

    No, it’s your accusation. You tell me why you think it’s a scam and if I don’t feel like your arguments hold water, I’ll tell you why.

    I never said it was a scam. I’m asking what people’s response to others who feel it is a scam is.
    
    You tell me why you think this FOSS software protocol is a scam

    You’ve got a navigator avatar, dev in your username, and a programming home instance. I imagine you’re capable of educating yourself enough to make some sound arguments on the topic and a bit of factual contribution to the discussion.
    
    No need to be so condescending.
